Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @eventcatalog/core; repositoryIdentity = eventcatalog; dependency = glob
L179: // src/analytics/count-resources.js
L180: var import_glob = require("glob");

Package manifest does not declare a clear license.

### 15. Critical: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/eventcatalog.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@eventcatalog/core@4.1.3/dist/eventcatalog.cjs>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @eventcatalog/core@3.48.4
matchedIdentity = npm:QGV2ZW50Y2F0YWxvZy9jb3Jl:3.48.4
